Instructions for AI

1. Priority: Always check the user’s request against the Active projects list.
2. Detecting a “dead” project: If the author says “the project didn’t land,” “I’m fed up,” or “focus shifted,” AI must suggest moving the project from Active to Archive.
3. No revival: Never propose developing archived projects unless the author explicitly asks. Use them only as past “scars” and lessons.
